New Design Challenge: Meander

The theme for this month’s challenge is very sinuous, winding line work. By including flowers and motifs from nature, this theme can be interpreted in a very Art Nouveau-inspired way, or it could just be lines and more of an abstract pattern.

We’ve broken down this theme into three directions, which can be used alone or in combination to inspire your pattern collection: Art Nouveau, Knotted, and Winding Roads. Everyone who completes their collection by the deadline has the option to be included on our Chelsea’s Challenge Pinterest board and will be considered for a feature highlighting student work on the Pattern Observer blog. Members can get involved here.

Grab Your Spot: The Surface Pattern Design Mastery Group-Study

Mark your calendars! Our Surface Pattern Design Mastery Group-Study starts on February 5, 2018.

In this course you’ll learn how to turn your sketches, paintings and illustrations into surface pattern design layouts in both Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

You’ll also have free access to WGSN, the industry’s leading resource for trends and design direction.
